The Gist: Georgia’s average gas price at the pump decreased by three cents compared to last week.
AAA spokeswoman Montrae Waiters attributed the decrease to low demand and crude oil prices. However, she warned that if demand and crude oil costs rise again, pump prices could follow suit.
By The Numbers: The current Georgia state average for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline is $3.22. This is three cents less than a week ago, two cents more than a month ago, and 15 cents less than this time last year. Drivers in Georgia are now paying $2 less to fill up at the pump compared to a year ago. It costs $48.30 to fill a 15-gallon tank of regular gasoline.
Behind The Numbers: The current national average for a gallon of regular gasoline is $3.41, which has remained steady for the past week. Low demand and an increase in domestic gasoline stocks have prevented significant price increases, although moderate increases may still occur in the future.
